In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter and sugar until creamy - about 1-2 minutes. Beat in vanilla and egg until combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in dry ingredients until combined. Beat in melted chocolate chips until combined.

Divide dough into 14 balls. Flatten a ball in the palm of your hand and place an Oreo in the center; evenly wrap dough around Oreo. Repeat process with remaining dough and Oreos. Place balls on sheet pans and bake 10 minutes or until puffy and set. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.

Now, you're just showing off! What beauties! But there's no way I would make only 14 cookies. I think I would triple the recipe and leave some of the unbaked cookie balls (not attractive sounding, sorry) in the freezer for emergencies...like 4 pm on a Thursday.

The answer is no to every single question you asked. I better get moving.

oh, you little vixen! you are KILLING me with the goodies! these look SO awesome!my grandma used to love black walnuts, too. she made a yummy black walnut cake. hmm, maybe my mom has the recipe...i'll have to check since you have me thinking about it now! maybe your next recipe could be a salad? hahaha

You're so creative, I love it! Can't wait to try these sometime..not for a halloween party bc we'll be at a wedding instead. I'm kind of sad, I love costumes! I expect pictures on your blog of yours :)

If there were anyone who would come up with a cookie inside a cookie, it's definitely you!

I'm sooooooo curious about those Halloween costumes. No parties for me. Mom and I are taking my niece and nephew and her boyfriend's grandson to Boo at the Zoo at the Bronx Zoo on Saturday though. I should probably wear a costume so the gorillas don't mistake me as one of their own. :-D
